I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if they were used correctly, but the fact that there's so few top names and they're all being used like loving poo poo (minus Ambrose/Rollins if you consider them in that tier) makes it completely useless.

Roman's not used like poo poo. He clear motives and wrestling matches that he wins. Bryan's booked strong, when he was around. Orton loses more than Bray, but since he's on a higher tier, he never looks weak. I think Ambrose and Rollins might count. Cena's your problem.

I guess if it's done one thing this terrible RAW ending has driven home just how realistic Cena winning at NoC is

Like they could not have picked a worst wrestler to feed to Cena at that exact moment

I like him. There were some matches, in the past, that made no sense for him to win, or win by as much as he did. This wasn't such a match.
Tho if the rest of the show left a bad taste in your mouth I wouldn't blame you.

In all, complete, non-knee jerk honesty, I don't mind him winning as much as I mind him winning the way that he did. I understand you needed a good heel to job to him, but it upsets me to see them basically making Wyatt look completely and utterly dog-poo poo weak in the process. You're telling me a clothesline and a few german suplexes and can destroy this supposedly supernatural beast? I'm going to find it difficult to take Wyatt seriously unless he completely bounces back and goes on a tear now. I suppose if I wasn't a 24 year old man and instead was a 12 year old kid, it wouldn't have angered me as much. But even if it did at that point, I'd just go jerk off in a sleeve of an old sweater and I'd get over it.

I guess I could just do that anyway but I'm not going to, I'm going to piss and moan about it on the internet.

I just don't think Cena will lose at NoC. Even Lesnar can't fend off cenawinzlol for two straight shows. I'd love to be wrong but I just know Cena's gonna rapadoo so he cane have the Streak heat.

This is why I'm saying Brock's not gonna lose. I hated that last segment but the fact is they needed to do something to plant seeds of doubt (or hope, depending on your perspective) and that segment did that. I'm pretty sure both HHH and Vince's rumored plans for the Mania 31 event both involved Brock, so I still think Brock's winning.

They aren't gonna squash Cena two PPVs in a row. That's actually a dumber business decision than burying Bray probably, to be honest.

In a vacuum, it was the edition of clotheslines, suplexes and ground punches. Narratively, it was Cena changing up his game and beasting up in a way he didn't at Summerslam. Becoming more vicious and depraved to match Lesnar's vicious depravity. I thought that was conveyed well. Maybe you disagree.

Cena was Brock Lesnar, and Wyatt was was Cena, then Cena beat up Wyatt some more after just cuz. It was great.

He dominated Bray Wyatt the same way Brock Lesnar dominated him. Bray was selling clotheslines like he had been hit by a truck. After the match became a 6-man tag, John Cena tapped out Luke Harper, and then laid out Rowan and a fleeing Bray Wyatt was dragged back to the ring and AA'd

oh and then he picked up Luke Harper and AA'd him

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

What I want to know is who Jericho pissed off to be in the 3rd program in a row where the guy he's putting over is buried immediately before, during or after feuding with him. Summerslam -> NoC was supposed to be time for Wyatt to be put over big after the damaging Cena feud + Battleground 5/6 PPV loss streak. They did gently caress all with Fandango and he plummeted to the bottom of the card soon after his debut, Ryback was verbally submitting to the Miz when Jericho got put into a feud with him, and now this.

I think there's some significance in Cena saying he doesn't want to beat Brock, just beat his rear end. I think it'll be the reverse of the 2012 match: Cena will aggressively beat up Lesnar but Lesnar will retain.
